For Pope Benedict XVI

Given the state of affairs in the Muslim world, can we, Catholics and Orthodox, dedicate a day of fasting and penance for Pope Benedict's trip to Turkey? It is on 28 Nov to 1 Dec.

There are many intentions for this, including:

• a safe trip for Papa Bear
• better relations between Cats and Dox
• Turkey lifts its oppression against Christians

Patriarch hopes Papal trip to Turkey will help Orthodox minority.
